Technical Reference: QAD Mobile (item number 78-0621D) has been updated to describe the features of this release.

QAD Mobile 2.0 includes changes in the following areas:

•

QAD Mobile Field Service client has been rewritten using the Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework with improved user interface.

•

QAD Mobile Field Service client now supports both portrait and landscape displays on mobile devices.

•

You can now configure QDoc envelope settings to include MFG/PRO authentication information in the QDoc envelope. Previously, QDoc envelopes could only be added by QXtend Inbound.

•

You can now choose whether to generate system logs and select from five log detail levels: all, debug, information, warning, and error.

•

This release of QAD Mobile Field Service supports multiple languages (12 on laptops and 10 on Windows Mobile-based PDAs). You can change the system language using the Admin Settings function in QAD Mobile Field Service client.

•

This release of QAD Mobile supports OneBridge Mobile Data Suite 5.5.

•

AppForge Crossfire Client is no longer required as a software prerequisite to run QAD Mobile Field Service client on Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC devices.

•

In this release of QAD Mobile Field Service, a parts order must contain at least one order line. Previously, you could save a parts order with no order lines.

•

You can now specify the value the device uses to create the next QDoc ID in the Settings page in QAD Mobile Field Service. QDoc ID is a five-digit incremental number that identifies the QDoc. This value defaults to 00000 the first time you generate a QDoc on the client device and will not be initialized after you recreate the client database. This ensures the uniqueness of all records imported from the client device.Previously, the next QDoc ID was generated automatically in the background and was initialized every time the client database was recreated.

•

You can now specify in Service Management Control (11.24) in MFG/PRO whether you want the system to suppress some less important QAD Mobile API warning messages returned by MFG/PRO to QXtend and displayed in the QXtend Queue Manager. Suppressing these warnings may help you identify more important warning messages. Set the new Suppress API Warnings option to Yes to suppress QAD Mobile API warning messages that are considered not important.

•

In this release, a patch is provided for QXtend Inbound version 1.2.1.6 to suppress the following warning message generated by Qxtend:
